2024/Mason-

I am from blizzard of pure white,

From crashing waves and lobsters of pure red.

I am from the dandelions under the fragrant pines

(mom’s dinner, crab cakes, it tasted like heaven)

I am from the dandelions floating through the stars,

The roaring baseball fans

Whose cheers I remember

as if they were my own

I’m from hockey rinks and purple perfume,

from pizza and burgers.

I’m from the snowboards and the

ice skates

From salt and seaweed

I’m from the loving family

With an embracing hug

And ten problems I can solve myself.

I’m from video games and red sox, sports, and snow.

From the dear skies lost

Dark, stormy clouds

Which used to keep me sad

Under my bed was a forgotten Lego

Spilling loose Legos every day,

A producer of infinite creativity,

To drift beneath my dreams.

I am from those moments-

Build before you decorate

Rules fallen from society.
